Austrian Animal Rights activist hospitalised

Urgent ELP Bulletin (17th of March 2008)

Dear friends

Last week a group of Austrian and Czech animal rights activists broke into a chicken farm to as part of an open "ploughshares style" animal rights action.

However during that raid one of the Czech activists, Michal, fell from a ladder onto a concrete floor. He was knocked unconscious, he broke his leg and badly injured his back.

ELP did not reveal the news at the time as we wanted to make sure Michal was okay before breaking the news.

The latest news is Michal has had to endure 2 operations and is still in hospital. However he is recovering but is said to be feeling very depressed. Since the accident Michal has received a few messages of support, from people who were told about the accident and these are said to be cheering him up.

Because e-mails are helping to cheer Michal up ELP has decided to go public with this story and we ask that everyone please help aid Michal's recovery by sending him an e-mail of support. The address to e-mail is realita.tv@gmail.com

Oh and there is some good news about this action. At least one hen was rescued during this action, despite the accident.
